Ah, it may have a slight irritation at 8%, but it has good spreadability and good efficacy.

체스트넛 아하 8% 클리어 에센스

They say it's a chemical peeling agent, so you shouldn't use it too often.
I don't know, that's probably why I don't reach for it as much.

It glides on like water and seems to absorb well.
They say my skin feels smooth the next day.
There was no particular irritation, which was good.

It doesn't seem to be very effective for exfoliating, which is disappointing

It's great for hydrating
I like fragrance-free cosmetics and I'm glad it's fragrance-free

As it is a mild and lightweight product, it may not be as effective on issues like milia as other exfoliating ingredients. If you dislike watery formulations, it may be inconvenient to apply.

It is gentle and easy to manage the skin texture. The watery formulation makes it easy to apply like a toner.

I've been using it daily, but physically exfoliating with a peeling gel is still more effective for removing dead skin cells.

I usually struggle with exfoliating and skin texture, but the 8% AHA essence is more effective at removing dead skin cells compared to other essences. I was worried it would sting, but it's not irritating at all, just like a regular water-based essence.

I don't feel like the exfoliation is working very well.

It seems good that it feels like exfoliating without irritation.

The formula is like a toner, so it's too watery and the pump is inconvenient to use.

It's easy to care for. It's affordable and has good value.

So far, there are no disappointing points, and it seems to be good for acne-prone skin.

It seems to be a good product that I use at least once a week these days.

 There's no specific recommendation on when to use it, morning or night. However, I've been alternating it with a whitening retinol product in the evenings, and applying it daily after cleansing in the mornings has been quite effective. While I'm not sure if it's dissolving or removing the dead skin, I do notice a radiant glow only on the areas where I've applied it, after using two essences and completing my full skincare routine. This makes me wonder if full-face application would be more appropriate.

 The fact that it can be used daily implies the ingredients are mild, yet I noticed no fading of the color even after using it for several days. When pumping, I was surprised to see it squirt out abruptly rather than smoothly dispensing as expected. It seems the internal spring may be an issue, but a slightly looser mechanism might work better.

 Those with issues on the forehead, chin, and nose bridge would do well to refer to this.
I purchased the Aha product because it was said to be usable daily.
The Hwahae Trial Reviewer can be used intensively on the forehead and chin where blackheads and whiteheads tend to reside on the nose tip. As the ingredients are not overly strong, I was able to apply it daily without any troubles. I ordered the 50ml size but received the 100ml, which is thinner than expected and absorbs quickly, almost suspiciously so. Applying extra layers did not cause any problems, but those with sensitive skin should exercise caution.

There's not much moisturizing effect.
As the absorption is quick, you need to apply the next product soon after.

This seems like a recommendable product..?! 
It has a gentle feel, so you can apply it daily without any issues.
It has a watery toner-like texture with a slight viscosity.
There's hardly any stinging sensation when applied (just a tiny bit).
The pump packaging is great.
After morning cleansing, it really makes my skin feel smoother.
The absorption is also quite fast.

It's a bit runny like water. I think I'll use it up faster than expected.

I switched from using a lotion-type exfoliator and this one is great - no irritation at all.

 No, not really!
As long as you use it properly, it's a product that can give great results without irritating the skin (:
Ah! It's very watery, so it can be a bit tricky to apply to specific areas since it tends to spread easily.

 I didn't use any vitamin/retinol products at all!
Using those together really irritates my skin ㅠㅠ

AHA is a bit scary, but
by planning my skincare routine to include soothing and barrier repair, I can feel my skin getting clearer.
As long as I use it carefully, I think AHA will be an indispensable product going forward (:
